You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Use the slope, which is the change in y divided by the change in x.
m=%28DELTA%2Ay%29%2F%28DELTA%2Ax%29=-%281%2F3%29
Starting from (-2,6).
If you move 3 in the x, then using the slope you should move -1 in the y.
X:-2%2BDELTA%2Ax=-2%2B3=1
Y:6%2BDELTA%2Ay=6-1=5

(1,5) is another point on the graph.
Plot the two points and connect them with the line.
